Absolutely excellent game. Made it to the end and the puzzles were just right :)

I like the idea, but this game is really hard. :P Maybe it's just because I'm way too tired, but I couldn't pass the third level. Nice work, though. I like the tiny bit of humor in the beginning. :P

Good job :D. I had a lot off fun and I laughed at the end. The puzzles were challenging, but they weren't too hard.

Wow! Thanks everyone for the nice comments!

@PeculiarCarrot: I am going to make a post-ld version with better progression of levels. Hopefully that will help. Also, make sure to get a good night's sleep tonight :D

Got to the third level as well before I crashed and couldn't figure it out!

Rather nice entry, these puzzles got me thinking a bit. Short, but still pretty cool. ^^"

@thedashdude Did you move or delete any of the game files? It's probably not able to find the first level.

Good to see Potato making an appearance. The puzzles were well crafted and very challenging. Nice work :)

I guess you voted for the "Potato Salad" theme :)
Very good puzzle mechanics that fit the actual "connected" theme.
Simple but cute graphics. A bit short, but acceptable for the compo. You could produce many more levels later.
I love it.

Yep, puzzle mechanics like this are always nice! The level design in this was quite well done, and the game feels relaxing with no music in the background. No real complaints, just a nice short little entry.

This is a very interesting idea for a puzzle game. Good job!

I like the take on the theme. The puzzles got real hard real fast(that's a plus for me BTW). Overall it was pretty great.
